@DSzymborski alternate when Twitter won't let me in.

[Dan Szymborski @BaseballSzym]

Thanks for the help guys! I'm not sure who was successful, but someone retweeting out my issues was enough to get me actual human help, and I now have my account back. This account will stay as an emergency!

[Dan Szymborski @BaseballSzym]

Dustin May and Julio Urias injuries are basically just the simulation of the universe applying its adaptive difficulty level.

If the Dodgers continue to play .600 ball, by the end of the season, they'll have a dishwasher in the rotation with a 3.90 ERA.

@patrickjbryden Do I dare ask how long it took to resolve?

[Dan Szymborski @BaseballSzym]

Well, I guess this is my account now, unless Twitter proves to be at all helpful. Guess we're starting over at the beginning again. :-/

[Dan Szymborski @BaseballSzym]

Considering we're almost in June, it's still weird that every Seattle Mariner still seems to have the wrong BA/OBP/SLG. It's like random number/slightly larger random number/slightly larger random nmber.

[Dan Szymborski @BaseballSzym]

@TwitterSupport I can certainly say one thing for sure: I'm definitely not paying for Twitter Blue now.

I'm not at exactly picky with my money, but I do ask of one thing of companies I give money to: actual provide me help for when I have issues with your product.

[Dan Szymborski @BaseballSzym]

I wasn't really pushing to move elsewhere, but this disaster with @TwitterSupport and losing 99% of my Twitter followers as a result of losing my account is definitely incentiving it. If I no longer have skin in the game, the pain point it much reduced.

[Dan Szymborski @BaseballSzym]

@TwitterSupport Now, I know that Twitter was not an effective driver of people to my work through links. But I really, really liked interacting with people in the community, even with people who didn't really read any of my work.

[Dan Szymborski @BaseballSzym]

What's especially annoying is that I schedule a lot of radio hits over DMs on Twitter. And now, since my account was not suspended and taken down, I just cannot access it, people who did not see I have a new account will think I'm rudely just not responding to them.

[Dan Szymborski @BaseballSzym]

My follows are going to be a wreck for awhile. Unfortunately, you can only add 400 followers a day, so I can't quickly reconstruct everyone who I was originally following.

If I was following you before and am not now, please don't take it personally. I rather have my account.

[Dan Szymborski @BaseballSzym]

So, naturally, if any of you know someone at @TwitterSupport that can actually have a human look at my issue rather than send me a form letter email to reset my password, you'd have my gratitude.

[Dan Szymborski @BaseballSzym]

@dougdirt24 I'm going to next couple of days if I can figure out who to contact these days. All the turnover at Twitter makes this very uncertain!

[Dan Szymborski @BaseballSzym]

@dougdirt24 I've literally spent the day in a constant loop.

Restting password sends me to restore access.

Restore access leads to customer support.

Customer support only tells me to reset password.

[Dan Szymborski @BaseballSzym]

Naturally, if you've asked me something by DM on my normal account or given me information by DM, I no longer have access to any fo that now.

[Dan Szymborski @BaseballSzym]

Thanks for the help, Twitter. They take down my account because of "compromise" and then simply tell me to get a new account AFTER 15 YEARS.

[Dan Szymborski @BaseballSzym]

@fangraphs @elonmusk @Twitter @TwitterSupport The directions to change my phone number and get access are absolutely worthless, but it won't let me connect other than to the appeal lockout/suspension page.

So, is my Twitter account of 15 years simply gone? Nobody's helping me.

[Dan Szymborski @BaseballSzym]

@FanGraphs @elonmusk @Twitter @TwitterSupport (Jon T. can you RT this?)

I am very frustrated. I got a note from Twitter to reset my password, but any attempt just sends me to the "recover locked suspended account". I never got a message that my account was suspended.a

[Dan Szymborski @BaseballSzym]

@fangraphs @elonmusk @Twitter @TwitterSupport I finally got in to "appeal" a suspension/lockout I was never aware of in the first place and sent a message to customer support.

They helpfully just tell me they don't have my email address, even though they replied to it AND I SIGNED INTO THE SUSPENDED ACCOUNT WITH IT.

[Dan Szymborski @BaseballSzym]

Baseball Twitter is way less exciting when I have nobody to interact with.

[Dan Szymborski @BaseballSzym]

@atk825 @DSzymborski @fangraphs Probably, but he's not a FA until after 2027, so he's cheap for now.
